Cannot play music CDs or DVDs after Vista Upgrade

I upgraded to Vista Business Edition from XP Pro a couple of months ago. I
think its great and haven't had any major problems.......till now!

I went to import a new CD into iTunes and it appeared to do it in about 5
seconds. When I played the imported songs, there was nothing. In iTunes, I
clicked on the CD and tried playing directly off the CD and it just skips
straight on to the next song.

Suspecting iTunes, I tried Windows Media Player and the same thing. I tried
a different CD and the same happened. I tried a video DVD and WMP will not
play it either.

I have an Acer Aspire 1683 WLMi with an upgraded hard drive (120GB) and
upgraded RAM (1.5GB). I never had this issue under XP.

I've checked for software updates for the DVDRW driver and it is using the
latest. I've removed and reinstalled the drive and still the same.

Incidentally, RealPlayer CAN play my music CDs!

Anyone any ideas?
